Copyrights
Copyright protection is at the core of Chambliss' intellectual property practice. Our attorneys counsel clients regarding the protection and use of copyrighted materials in both the U.S. and abroad. Some of our clients are traditional in a sense – artists, musicians, writers, and publishers. However, copyright protection is necessary for so many other professions in today's digital age, including software developers, technology companies, ad and public relations agencies, content creators, and photographers. We assist clients with the preparation and filing of copyright registration applications with the U.S. Copyright Office and provide counsel on a wide range of copyright issues like works-made-for hire, fair use, royalty rates, different licenses, and publicity rights. In addition, we prepare and negotiate copyright license agreements and represent clients in litigation related to copyright infringement.
